Hidden video cameras

I swept an apartment the other day in Manhattan. The woman thought there were video cameras watching her every move.

I really didn't want to do the job. A lot of paranoid people think that somebody is watching them. Reluctantly, I came out on Friday night.

Fortunately, I did. I found three hidden cameras in a studio apartment. Apparently, her boyfriend installed them when she was on vacation (he's a contractor). He said he was going to "make over her apartment." He did.

There was a hidden video camera in her buzzer that opened the front door. It looked on her bed. There was another in the smoke detector (pictured). It looked at her dinner table. There was another in her mantle piece, that he cleverly built, that looked on her couch.

Talk about jealous boyfriends! He had all the bases covered.

Of course, she broke up with him right away. She suspected the cameras from something he said. So, I'll never doubt another woman who says she suspects cameras in her apartment.

About Me

Hi, I'm Skipp Porteous. I'm a New Yorker who lives in Manhattan. I specialize in wiretap and "bug" detection. The thing I like most about being a private investigator is being able to help people. I firmly believe that if you give, it will be given back to you.
I researched the unsolved crime of the century for 3 years and wrote the book "Into The Blast: The True Story of D.B. Cooper." It was published by Adventure Books of Seattle, and the editor of Adventure Book, Robert Blevins, co-authored it with me.
